Fish tales appears to be a very polarizing game, you either love it or hate it. If I could make more of the shots consistently, I would love it. But why do people despise this game so much? Can't be the awesome music, is it the topper?? Out of whack super jackpot scores?

Poor lil game, someone still loves ya, even if I can't make all the shots.

Quoted from xsonics2k2:

"You gonna eat that?"
Another great feature about Fish Tales is the first shot off the ball launch.
My FT is setup with a steep slope with lightning flippers and yesterday I hit a triple Long Cast into a Fast Cast off the launch. It was pretty damn cool as I could barely see the ball flying around the playfield and hitting those shots off of the launch is a huge help to progress through the game. I have always loved games with that outer looping shot that you can hit consecutively. Getaway, AFM, etc…
FT isn't going anywhere soon… I hope someone make some new plastics for it, the prices are ridiculous!
If someone has a plastic set they are willing to sell, please PM me. Thanks.

I am glad to see another one around the Seattle area, the one I used to play on location is gone.

My favorite pinball place near me is the Seattle pinball museum, it is a great place with about 45ish games that Charlie and Cindy rotate through, but Charlie has no love for the fish tail =( I need to go on a hunt to find one to buy or at least one to visit time to time.
